The Hicks Lake Trail is an easy, four-kilometre loop. It requires just an hour and a half to walk, but you can easily take double that if you go looking for hidden treasure.
6. High Knoll in Minnekhada Regional Park
Opened in 1981, Minnekhada Regional Park lies in the territory of the Katzie First Nation.
